Cause he likes to fight the best out there and this is the BEST STEP UP fight he could have un like other fighter who move up in weight and fight someone whos been there for 1 fight at that weight... *cough!! PBF *cough!!

Or other fighters who are after $$$$ and $$$$ only and think that by taking the easy route and fighting mediocre fighters to set up what was suppose to be a MEGA fight is the best thing and in the end they get bit right in the ass.... And are left chasing some tale in a N.Y. club only to be dragged your azz out of the club by the wifey!! need I say more...
